or not to build a tree used for the creation of a DVD image. If that is
enabled set up a DVD tree by installing everything we normally install
to the individual CDROM trees into the one DVD tree. The result is one
image with all the install bits, livefs bits, and doc bits suitable for
burning to a DVD instead of CDROM.
Enable building the DVD for amd64 and i386.

- Add support for .Fx, just in case somebody starts using it.
- Only add the arch information to the first para per manual page.
This improves output for axe(4), and generally seems to make sense
(I hope).
- Remove an unneeded line for non-compat mode.
This removes some vertical whitespace in the output.
Whitespace was intentionally not fixed in the SGML for the related
lists, to make the actual change more clear. This file is in need of
a major whitespace cleanup anyway.
complains about "Malformed numbers" while unpacking the dists and
what winds up on the disk isn't correct. Use this as an opportunity
to switch over to bsdcpio since at this point we don't even build
and install the gnu cpio by default. Note sysinstall needed to be
tweaked a bit (dropping tape block size setting) because it seems
bsdcpio doesn't do anything with block sizes, at least as far as
reading from archives goes. That wasn't really a problem since
installations from tape have been broken for a while and the rest
of sysinstall's tape support code will be removed shortly.
mininal set of ports required to make the docs. However,
we also need ports/sysutils/cdrtools in order to make the
ISO images. When a platform doesn't have packages, the
release will fail in that case. Add ports/sysutils/cdrtools
to RELEASEPORTSMODULE for the DOMINIMALDOCPORTS case to
handle the NOPORTS release build.
Note that this change doesn't try to handle the NOPORTS with
NODOC case. For we have NOPORTSATALL set and it seems wrong
to check out a ports module in that case.
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

can't find fsck_4.2bsd because there was no fstab file saying what
filesystem type it is looking at so it got the filesystem type from
the disk's label. When that fails admins who haven't been in this
situation before are most likely to try "fsck -t ufs /dev/ad0s1a" because
ufs is the type used in fstab files on working systems but that also fails
complaining it can't find fsck_ufs.
This just sets it up so /stand in the MFS image (/sbin is a symlink
to /stand) includes hard links pointing fsck_4.2bsd and fsck_ufs to
fsck_ffs which is what is present in /sbin on installed systems.

shell. This would break them for floppy based fixit mode which still
seems to use /stand except that vi(1) and more(1) don't exist in /stand
on the fixit floppy so it really doesn't matter what these settings are
there. These paths work for CD-based fixit mode.
This is just "temporary" and on its way to 7.0-REL. I'm too chicken to
make what is probably the correct adjustment this close to release. It
seems /mnt2 is just a symbolic link, and stuff really gets mounted as
/dist. Adjusting paths to that for 8.X is probably the right thing to
do and I'll try that after 7.0 is done.

Note that this is only from the install media, not the installed
system where the symbols are still installed, if part of the release.
Should anybody want the symbols which match disc1/livecd, they can
just be extracted from the kernel distribution files.

In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt.
The current text form could represent a work in progress. Therefore,
in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO". When this rc.d
change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward
